I went for the uber-nerd approach to gaming.

Whatever's possible, local on Linux. If it's not, one of my servers has a GPU that I pass through to a Windows VM, and run the games there and displayed by streaming. Also works for VR.

Not a setup for everyone and a tad technically complex to set up, but it works well enough for my needs.

It does run into some trouble with games that don't like virtual machines, but since I'm a very casual gamer I just play things that don't complain about that.

You can actually add anything you want to Steam, so you can use Steam Link to run Excel remotely.
